St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Atlanta: Part 1!

Where are you kickin' it for St. Patty's Day?

Guinness, green beer, Harp, Smithwick’s, live music, plus the customary meat and
potatoes with all the fixings are going to be served up leading up to one of
everyone’s favorite holidays, St. Patrick's Day. Here are some of the many restaurants, bars and
even bakers throwing down in celebration for the day of green. I will have more
on deck but let’s get the ball rolling! As usual, I do my best to let you know
what’s going on throughout Atlanta and even outside the perimeter, so here’s
what I stirred up so far on what’s going on. From food specials to cupcakes made with SweetWater's Exodus Porter, and drinks sold
for a few gold coins, wear your green and party with some leprechauns all
freakin’ long!

Smallcakes' "Porter Me Up" Cupcake

Cream Frosting infused with SweetWater's Exodus Porter. The "Porter Me Up" cupcake is
